They have gone past the round of 16 just once before, beating Nigeria 4-1 in 1998 before losing 3-2 to Brazil in the quarter-finals.

Most of the goals scored by the Croats have come in the second half- Six of their seven goals.

The Danes are on a national record unbeaten run of 18 games (W9, D9). Their last defeat was a 1-0 loss to Montenegro in October 2016.

If Luka Modric plays he will equal Darijo Srna as the Croat with most appearances at major tournaments (18 at the World Cup and European Championship), whereas Christian Eriksen has registered four shot on target at this World Cup, but he is the only Dane to have had more than one effort on target at the tournament.
